Banana Walnut Tarte Tatin Recipes

BANANA TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the sugar and butter together on a low heat without stirring the mixture. Once the sugar has melted, turn up the heat and bubble until it turns a deep caramel colour. If the butter separates from the caramel, take the pan off the heat and add 1 tbsp of warm water, stirring until the butter emulsifies again.
• Pour the caramel into a 23cm cake tin with a solid base and spread the caramel out quickly with the back of a warm spoon. Slice the bananas into 2cm-thick pieces and arrange them, cut-side down, in concentric circles in the tin, then sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt and half the orange zest.
• Cut the pastry into a circle 3cm larger than the tin. Lay the pastry on top of the bananas and tuck the edges down inside the tin. Bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until the pastry is risen and cooked through. Whisk the double cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Add the rum, cinnamon and remaining orange zest, and whisk until just combined.
• Leave the tart to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then carefully turn the tart out onto a large plate, wearing oven gloves in case the hot caramel splashes. Serve with the cream.

BANANA TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
• Cut your butter into cubes and put into a sturdy deep-sided baking tray (roughly 19cm x 30cm). Place the tray on a low heat, let the butter melt, then add the sugar and stir constantly until completely combined. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar has all dissolved and the mixture is golden and caramelized.
• By the time this happens, the mixture will be roasting hot so be very careful and whatever you do, DON'T be tempted to put your fingers in the mixture as you'll give yourself a nasty burn.
• Meanwhile, peel the bananas, halve them lengthways, and lay them carefully on top of the golden caramel. Remove from the heat, then sprinkle over the cinnamon and finely grate over the zest of half your orange.
• Dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with flour. Rather than putting your pastry down flat and rolling it out, place it on its side and roll it from there, as this will give you a lighter, crisper texture. Roll it out until you have a rectangle shape about the same size as your tray and about 0.5cm thick.
• Drape your pastry over your rolling pin and carefully lay it on the baking tray, gently tucking it around the bananas to make sure they're well covered with no gaps.
• Using a knife or fork, prick the pastry a few times. Place the tray at the top of the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until baked golden.
• When your tarte Tatin is ready, you must turn it out at once or it will end up sticking to the baking tray. Again, you want to be very careful and make sure you don't burn yourself on that hot caramel mixture. To turn the tarte out, cover your hand with a folded tea towel, carefully hold the tray with a serving plate or board on top and gently turn it over.
• Using the tip of a knife, pull a corner of the pastry up to check if it's all cooked underneath (if not, pop it back into the oven for another couple of minutes), then ease the whole thing out of the tray.
• If using crème fraîche, put it into a bowl, grate over the rest of your orange zest and stir well. If using vanilla ice cream, sprinkle a few tablespoons of desiccated coconut on a plate and quickly roll a scoop of ice cream in it until coated.
• Serve your tarte tatin with a dollop of crème fraîche or coated ice cream and eat immediately!

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Using an 8-inch (20-cm) round cake pan, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over the pastry to provide ventilation. Set aside.
• Cut the tops and bottoms off of the bananas, then halve 2 of the bananas crosswise and set aside.

• Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until combined.
• Add the bananas to the pan and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Turn the bananas to fully coat them with the caramel, then remove from the pan. Reserve the caramel.
• Grease the cake pan. Arrange the bananas on the bottom of the pan. Pour over the caramel sauce.
• Cover the bananas with the circle of puff pastry and ensure the edges are tucked into the pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.

BANANA WALNUT TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a 10-inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the chopped walnuts and cook, stirring constantly until nuts are toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Place the butter in the skillet and heat until melted. Add the brown sugar and stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Peel the bananas. Cut them in half lengthwise and then crosswise. Arrange the banana pieces in the skillet in concentric circles, rounded side down, so that the curve of the banana fits into the curve of the pan. Make layers as necessary.
• Place the pan back on the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Roll the dough and cover the bananas according to the directions in the pastry recipe. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Run a small, sharp knife around the edge of the tarte to loosen. Place a large plate or platter over the skillet. Holding the plate and skillet together using 2 kitchen towels, carefully but quickly invert the tarte onto the plate. Let stand a few minutes to cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve with coffee rum whipped cream (see recipe) or vanilla ice cream if desired.

BANANA MAPLE TART TATIN

Steps:

• On a floured surface, roll the pastry out a bit to even out the any folds and make it a touch thinner. Cut a 10-inch circle of dough from it, prick it, and keep it chilled.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place a heavy 9 or 10-inch metal cake pan on the stove on a large burner and turn the heat onto medium. Add the butter and warm to melt it. Add the maple syrup and vanilla bean and bring to a boil stirring a bit. Remove the vanilla bean. Take the pan off the heat and place the banana slices in the pan decoratively in concentric circles to cover the whole bottom of the pan. Place the pastry over the bananas to cover them, tucking the pastry down along the inside of the pan. Later, during baking, the pastry will shrink to fit the pan.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Let cool in the pan 30 minutes then warm the bottom of the pan on the stove for a minute and turn the tart out onto a serving platter.

BANANA TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• For the ice cream, put the condensed milk, cream and crushed cardamom seeds into a bowl. Whip until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed from the bowl, then transfer to a freezer-safe tub and level the top. Freeze.
• For the tarte tatin, preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and have a 23cm/9in ovenproof pan at the ready.
• Roll out the pastry to a 1cm/½in thickness, then cut out a circle about 2cm/¾in wider than your pan. Pop it on a baking tray and leave it in the fridge while you make the caramel.
• Put the sugar and butter into the pan, and when the sugar dissolves, turn up the heat and allow the caramel to get dark and thicken. Occasionally lift the pan and give it all a little swirl. The main thing is to watch it until it is a deep caramel colour, because once it gets to that point it can burn quickly.
• Remove from the heat and sprinkle on the hazelnuts. Add the bananas to the caramel, then lay the pastry on top and gently lift and tuck it around the sides of the pan, being careful of the hot caramel. Cut a slit in the top for the steam to escape, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
• Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes, then place a plate over the pastry and carefully turn out the tart tatin (wear oven gloves to protect your hands from the hot caramel). Serve in slices with scoops of the ice cream.
